PASSION
For Xavier de La Chapelle, it was love at first sight when he first saw the Bugatti Type 55, originally designed by Jean, son of Ettore. This is the origin of the fabulous Roadster, each example of which bears a unique number.

EMOTION
Firmly supported in your Connolly leather seat, you are in total command of the controls, the short, precise gear stick, the 4-spoke hickory steering wheel, the ivory dials enshrined in the veneered dashboard.

SENSATION
The BMW engine roars, the rev-counter needle leaps, the sensation of speed intensifies with the six wild cylinders driving the charge.

ELEGANCE
Combining the purity of the original design with the prestige of an elegant four-seater, the Tourer recaptures the spirit of motoring, the mood of the old days when the automobile created the magic of the touring holiday.

NOSTALGIA
From the Deauville promenade to the Monte-Carlo casino, rediscover all the harmony of an epoque when the automobile was a part of the beauty of the surroundings. After each halt, you feel only impatience to be reunited with your cabriolet, to feel its wood, to inhale the aromas of the leather, to admire its subtle curves, to find again the cosy intimacy under the canvas hood. The road is no longer just a bit of tarmac to drive on. It becomes a space in which to live.
